The feelings that an interface fire can evoke are quite strong. The
Rose Valley fire started on Saturday evening and lasted through to early
Monday. We were on evacuation alert on Saturday night, and had packed up the
van to evacuate, but the final evacuation order never came. (Many of the
streets above ours were evacuated until Sunday afternoon.) While it now seems
like a small fire compared to what Kelowna experienced 2 years ago, it is hard
to determine the size of the fire late at night. At the time, it felt just as
serious and just as big as the Okanagan Mountain Park firestorm.

I did not take any of these pictures. They were copied from Kelowna's local
news website.
